ESPN: Brown spends 2.5 hours weekly at LHN studios for two shows

Brown said he “didn’t ask” for Texas to sign its 20-year, $300 million agreement with ESPN and that LHN represents “a difficult situation.” He also said he spends about six hours each week on preparation time, interviews and travel for three Longhorn Network shows.

Asked about that figure Monday, an ESPN spokesperson said Brown spends about 2 1/2 hours each week at LHN’s studios, which are located 1.8 miles from the UT athletic office complex, for two shows that appear on the network. The network’s third show is an existing radio program for which ESPN added cameras so it could be telecast.
